Information Patrick J. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about any special needs or behaviors your dog has. I have watched and cared for many Senior dogs with health issues and have experience with providing dog medication both orally and by injection.

A typical day

I have a great backyard for exploring and playing. I throw balls, hunt for treats and enjoy the birds at the bird feeder. The sounds of our garden fountains add peace to a good Sunbeam nap too!. Dog Heaven!

Why Choose me? 🌟 Experience: With over 50 years of hands-on experience, I've raised our dogs from puppies to cherished old age companions. 🌟 Passion: Dogs aren't just pets; they're family.

What I Offer: 🐾 Personalized Care: Tailored attention to suit your dog's needs, whether they love long walks, cozy cuddles, or playtime in our spacious yard. 🐾 Training Opportunities: Aspiring to train service dogs in retirement, we offer positive reinforcement and a loving environment that fosters learning and growth. 🐾 Communication: I understand dog language—making interaction adept at reading cues and ensuring your dog feels understood and comfortable. About: As a dog lover with a passion for fostering connections and enriching lives, I welcome your dog into our extended family with open arms.

Patrick was wonderful. He treated Kayce as if she was his own dog. He communicated daily with pictures and/or video so we felt completely comfortable wiyh leaving her there. She got plenty of daily exercise. We couldn’t be any more pleased.

Patrick was amazing with our dog Kenny! He kept us constantly updated with photos and videos that showed Kenny getting lots of outdoor playtime and looking totally at ease. It was clear Patrick followed our care instructions closely and truly cared for Kenny’s comfort and happiness. His home is a beautiful and calm. Perfect for a dog like Kenny who enjoys a peaceful space. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Patrick again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a thoughtful, reliable sitter!

Freya had a great time staying with Patrick (Mike)!! She hates when we leave her, but she was about as happy and comfortable as she could have been being away from her humans. Mike sent me lots of pictures and updates, which was a huge comfort. Freya also takes medicine twice a day and usually eats it no problem with some cheese, but she wouldn't eat it because she was moping... thankfully Mike felt comfortable enough pushing the pill down her throat, so she still got her medicine. I am very grateful Freya found such good friends in Mike and Heather, I'm sure she'll have more sleepovers with them in the future!
